RE: Yet another problem room..

Actually - this sorta started with hearing some Martin-Logan's at BestBuy.. somehow they'd accidently set them up correctly. I'm still not sure what model I heard, but it was quite impressive.

As I mentioned at the beginning of the thread, I've had an interest in electrostatics for a LONG long time.. Problem is - most ML's are too much $$.

I may just wait and watch AudioGon and FleaBay for some reasonably priced used ones. My holdback on MLs aside from the price is (1) the proliferation of models - seems to be mostly marketing - but it disturbs me when a company can't make a model for more then a few years without feeling they can "improve" it (which from when I worked in audio was used to get new reviews in the magazines and honk some more of these turkeys out the door..) (2) they've gone to box speakers besides the electrostatics - sort of lets mine the $$ from the name while we can sort of marketing.

Anyone have opinions on smaller ML electrostatics vs the MMG? Is the room less critical with the ML's due to the built in woofer?

And haven't we wandered off-topic now.. :)

BTW - stand speakers don't excite me a bunch. But I'll admit to not having listened to a bunch of them. Seems more marketing over technology again, but I'm always willing to be proven wrong on that..
